Posted by geeksyndicate in Uncategorised | Comments Off on Countdown to Bristol International Comic & Small Press Expo 2010 – Day 7 ‘Mercure and Ramada Panel Timetables!’

Welcome to Day 7 and more importantly it’s two weeks to the Bristol Con people (well it is if you’re like me and travel up to Bristol on the Friday). Anyway today I figured to help you lot plan your activities for the con weekend here are the panels being held at the Ramada and the Mercure. There’s some very interesting panels in there so hopefully something for everyone.

As far as I know, at the moment, we’re the only one to have the full panel line up. So without further ado here’s the line up for Sat/Sun at the Ramada followed by the Sat/Sun panels at the Mercure.

What do William Blake, symbolic code breaking, aura reading, Byron, Howard Hughes, numerology, World War Two poetry, and cutting edge science all have in common? Find out as Gavin Jones and Dan Marshall (of The Sidekick Cast) probe the mind of Markosia word smith Chris Lynch and find out about his latest projects, including the critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller “The Dark”, available in a limited edition Expo Exclusive edition this weekend.
